Description

Nashville has been known to make more than one man fall to his knees and struggle to get back up. It's a busy city filled with needless efforts to build images and mold artists into what the executives want. When Deryl Dodd arrived in Music City in the early 1990s, he was willing to almost anything to succeed in the music business. He had the right looks, a great sound and by the mid 90s, had a record deal. When Dodd became very ill and weak while traveling to promote his debut album, friends and physicians alike dismissed it as one of the details of playing the Nashville game. When it was allmore… said and done, Dodd had been the victim of a much more serious situation. He had been battling viral encephalitis, has been recovering slowly over the past three years and has now presented country fans with another great collection of music. His sound is as fresh as every, as he rediscovered his music by playing the honky-tonk circuit in Texas and testing his music with the common man, the person country music is written for. Dodd's newest album is entitled Pearl Snaps. With a title like Pearl Snaps, the product is bound to be good and the listener will not be disappointed with the album Pearl Snaps or the title song. It is an upbeat song that pays homage to the trusty pearl snap western shirt. Dodd doesn't end his tributes with pearl snap shirts. He goes on to sing a tribute to his home state with the toe-tapping "On Earth As It Is In Texas." No Texan can hear the song without their hat-size growing a few inches. Dodd includes a healthy serving of honky-tonk music as well as a couple of swing numbers that are reminiscent of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. His Bob Wills tendencies come through on the playful, bluesy "Cows" and he swings it on "Back to the Honky Tonk." In addition to the standard tearjerkers and fun songs, Dodd treats us to a couple of remakes of the songs we all remember from the 90s. "A Bitter End" is the song that Dodd seems to be best known for as the song made a strong run up the mainstream country charts. He also includes re-recordings of earlier numbers such as "How I Got to Memphis," originally recorded by Bobby Bare, and the emotionally charged "One Ride in Vegas." For those of you who wondered why the immensely talented Deryl Dodd just seemed to drop from the country music scene in 1998, your worries are over. He is back and in full force. This collection of songs comes from the honky-tonks and they will put you in a honky-tonking mood.
